Heavenly Citizenship I’m no longer of this earth; I have been changed by a spiritual birth, Although I still walk this sod, I now belong to the Kingdom of God. A heavenly plane beyond this earth; in a Kingdom of Eternal Worth, While down here, I am led by God, comforted by His staff and rod. Although I was born on earth in sin, of Heaven above I am a citizen, A new citizen of Heaven, eternally, all through the Cross of Calvary. While I am here He lives within, through The Holy Spirit sent by Him, Jesus Christ, who came to die for me, to give me New Life eternally. It’s the Holy Spirit who lives inside, helping this sinner daily to abide, To abide in my Lord, Jesus Christ, who gave to this sinner a new life. For, when The Lord was crucified, New Life, I received when He died, When for me, Jesus paid that price, by becoming for me a Sacrifice. After Christ had died in my stead, my Lord rose again from the dead, Leaving empty, the Garden Tomb, and sealing forever, Satan’s doom, And with Christ being The Living Bread, up to Heaven, He went ahead, Leaving behind death’s dark gloom, to set up for me an eternal room. As a member of the human race, my heavenly citizenship is of Grace, The thought I’d alone never conceive, let alone, something I’d achieve. But soon I’ll see my Lord’s face, when I’m lifted to my heavenly place, Friend all this too, you can receive, if in Christ you would just believe.

Nice. thankyou for the time that you spent writing that inspired poem. I wish more people would understand what Jesus has done, for free, for us. |

Hi Bob, I think that should be Jerusalem not Heaven in that poem or, Streets of gold and pearly gates till ego's gone Heaven waits and Jerusalem has no King. Why does Heaven wait? The Bride cannot descend until the Husband has made himself ready. Where does the Bride descend from? From God out of Heaven. Why does She come? So God can dwell within, Immanuel. So there is no more day or night but that the Holy One can light the temple and wipe away the tears. These are thoughts of Jerusalem. Sometimes I wonder why people seem not to be able to say things quite right even when they have a lot of passion in what they do believe but I also think if we open our hearts it will all work out in the end. Peace, Joe Crow |

Another beauty, Bob. Our time here is but the blink of an eye compared to life in heaven with our Lord. I like that you clearly state it's by undeserved grace, we're able to claim this right. Rae |
